Cellular and Molecular Basis of Mitochondrial Inheritance: Mitochondrial Disease and Fitness

This new volume of our successful book series Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology is focused on mihondrial inheritance in humans and both vertebrate and invertrebate animals including Drosophila, C. elegans, bivalve molusc Mytilus and livesk mammals. Special consideration is given to cellular mechanisms promoting uniparental inheritance of mihondria and mihondrial genes, evolutionary perspectives, and biomedical and epidemiological considerations.
